land, as'signor Binningen, near Basel, Switzerto the firm Society of Chemical Industry in Basie, BaseLfSwitzerland NoioDra wiing. Application December 29, 1933,

Serial The present invention relates to asymmetrical indigoid dyestuffs of the general formula halogen wherein one a: represents halogen,and' the other :2 alkyl, and wherein further two of the letters m, n and 1' represent two carbonatoms adjacent to each other and at the same time appertain to an aromatic ring system, and the" third represents NH, C or S. 7

These asymmetrical indigoid dyestuffs are obtained by condensing hydroxythionaphthenes of the general formula halogen wherein one 3: represents halogen, and the other :1: alkyl, and wherein w represents a reactive group, such as O, halogen, product of the generalformula wherein 2 represents a reactive group, such as O, halogen, anil, 2H and NOH, and wherein two of the letters m, n and 1' represent two'c'arbonatoms adjacent to each other and at the same time appertain to an aromatic ring system, and the third represents NH, 0 or S, and, if desired, treating the dyestuffs obtainedwith halogenating agents, such as, for example, chlorine, bromine or suliuryl chloride. H e i Hydroxythionaphthenes of the above general formula are, for instance," 4,6-dichloro -7 methyl 3-hydroxythionaphthene, 4,6-dichloro-7-ethyl3- hydroxythionaphthene, "4, 7-dichloro-f6-methyl-3- hydroxythionaphthene, 4- bromo '6 chloro 7- methyl- 3 -hydroxythionaphthene, 4 chloro 6% I ro-7-bromo6-methyl-3 like, and the homologues and substitution prodanil, 2H and NO H with a;

No; 704,601. In Switzerland January 4, whi s, (01. 260-53) bromo- 7 -methyl 3 hydroxythionaphthene, 4- chloro-l-bromo-B- methyl 3 hydroxythionaphthene, i-b r o m o -7-chloro-6-methyl-3-hydroxythionaphthene, 4,6-dibromo-7Pmethyl-3-hydroxythionaphthene,4,7-dibromo-6-methyl-3 hydroxy- 5 thionaphthene, 4- b r o m o-6-chloro-7-methyl-3- hydroxythionaphthene-Z-carboxylic acid, 4-chlo- -hydroxythionaphthene- 2-carboxylic acid, 2-(para-dimethylamino-) anil of 4,6 dichloro- '7 -methyl- 3 -hydroxythionaph- 10 theme and 4,7dichloro-fi-methylthionaphthenequinone.

Products of thethird named general formula are, for instance, five-membered condensed ring systems, like isatins, naphthisatins, indoxyls, thionaphthenequinones, hydroxythionaphthenes, naphthohydroxythiophenes, anthracenethioindoxyls, anthraquinonethioindoxyls, acenaphthenequinones, phenanthrenequinones and the ucts, anils and halides thereof. a

The condensation takes place'by heating the components in a solvent-which may act as condensing agent.

The new dyestuffs may distinguish themselves in dyeing and printing animal fibers, such as, for example, wool and silk, or vegetable fibers, such as, for example, cotton or artificial silk from regenerated cellulose, by their great strength and their excellent fastness properties. They can be converted by known methods into leuco-ester salts.

The said hydroxythionaphthenes or their reactive 2-derivatives may be made by various methods; for example for making 4,6-dichloro-7- rnethy13-hydroxyth ionaphthene the following procedure may be adopted:-

From 1 amino-2,4-dichloro-5-methyl-6-benzenesulfonic acid there is obtained by diazotizing and conversion of the'diazo-compound thus obtained with cuprous cyanide the l-cyan-2: 4-dichloro-5-methyl-G-benzehesulfonic acid, which by the action of phosphorous pentachloride is converted into'the 1-cyan-2,4-dichloro-5-methyl- 6-benzenesulfochloride easily soluble in benzene. The sulfochloride is then reduced'and the mercaptan" thus 'formed is condensed without further purification in a weakly alkaline solution with monochloracetic acid. During the reduction the "cyanogen-group is simultaneously 'sapon'ified to the -CO-HN2 group. The 2,4-dichloro-5- methyl-6-phenylthioglycolcarboxylic acid-l-carboxylic acid amide thus obtained readily closes the ring already after a short boil in weakly alkaline solution to the 4,6-dichloro-7-methyl-3-hydroxythionaphthene, which crystallizes from alcohol in colorless needles of melting point 127 C.

The 4,? dichloro 6 methyl- 3 hydroxythionaphthene can be made from the l-amino-Z, 5- dichloro-4-methyl-6-benzenesulfonic acid in a manner quite analogous to that described for making the 4,6-dichloro-7-methyl-3-hydroxythionaphthene. It crystallizes from alcohol in colorless needles of melting point 145 C.

From the 3-hydroxythionaphthenes of the above general formula the reactive Z-derivatives,

such as, for example, the 2-anils 2-oximes, 2-

halides, are obtained in known manner by the interaction of nitroso compounds, nitrous acid or halogens. From the 2-anils the corresponding thionaphthenequinoneanils are obtained by saponification with, for example, sulfuric acid.

The following examples illustrate the invention, the parts being by weight- Example 1 233 parts of 4,6-dichloro-7-methyl-3-hydr0xythionaphthene and 326 parts of Z-(para-dimethylamino-)anil of 6-ethoxy-3-hydroxythionaph-- thene are heated to the boil, in 4000 parts of alco- 1101. After the condensation is complete the dyestuff of the formula co co \G=O/ c1- s s coin.

is filtered, ofl, washed and dried. It represents a bright scarlet red powder which dissolves in concentrated sulfuric acid to a blue-green solution.

- The dyestuff' forms a yellow vat and dyes cotton pure full scarlet tints of excellent fastness.

Example 2 is obtained in the form of a brown-red powder which dissolves in concentrated sulfuric acid to a blue-green solution and dyes cotton from a redyellow vat full pure red-brown tints.

Example 3 233 parts of 4,7-dichloro6methyl-3-hydroxythionaphthene are dissolved in 2000 parts 01' chlorobenzene and mixed at 70 C. with a solu tion of 5,7-dibromisatinchloride produced in known manner from 305 parts of 5,7 -dibromi satin and 250 parts of phosphorus pentachloride in chlorobenzene. After stirring for a short time the condensation is complete. After filtering, washing and drying the dyestufl of the formula is obtained in the form of a dark violet powder which dissolves in concentrated sulfuric acid to a green solution and dyes cotton from a yellow vat blue-violet tints;

By substituting in. this example 216 parts of 5:7-dichlorisatin for the 5,7-dibromisatin there is obtained, a dyatutf having similar properties.

A dyestufi possessing similar properties is ob- 2O tained by substitutmg in this example 233 parts of 4,6 dichloro '1;-methyl-3-hydroxythionaphthene for the 4,7-dichloro-6-methyl-3-hydroxythionaphthene used.

233 parts of 4,7-dichloro-fi -methyl-3-hydroxythionaphthene and 216 parts of 5,7-dichlorisatin are heated in 3000 parts of glacial acetic acid until the dyestuff formation is complete. After filtering, washing and drying the dyestufi of the formula I c1 c1 40 is obtained as a brown-red powder which dissolves in sulfuric acid to a blue-green solution and dyes cotton from a yellow vat red tints. 45

By substituting in this example equal parts of 4,6 dichloro-7-methyl-2-hydroxythionaphthene for the 4,7-dichloro-6-methyl-3 hydroxythionaphthene there is obtained a dyestuff having similar properties. 50

There are 01 then added 750 parts of water at 70 C. and 15 parts of sodium hydrosulfite the whole being allowed to stand for 30 minutes and then diluted to 2000 parts with water. parts of cotton are now entered into the bath at 60 C., 50 parts of common salt are added after about 10 minutes and dyeing is, continued for /2 hour at 60 C. The material is then washed, oxidized in the air for 30 minutes, rinsed and soaped. The cotton is thus dyed very fast red-brown tints. For wool, silk and artificial silk the dyeing process must of course be varied to suit the nature of these fibers.
